What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the tile is cleaned and loose pieces removed.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We shape the repair flush with the tile.
- We match the colour and pattern by hand.
- We seal the repair to suit the finish of the tile.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire tiled area, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Tile repair in Wilby without replacing anything
The tile stays where it is, so there is no need to hunt for a matching tile. A loose or rocking tile may need relaying first, and we will tell you. We regularly repair ceramic tiles, floor and wall tiles and marble, and people most often call us about drill holes from removed fittings and cracked floor tiles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Avoid dropping heavy items on repaired floor tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

Your questions about tile repair in Wilby
How much does tile repair cost in Wilby?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Wilby included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you work in Wilby?

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Floor and wall tiles
- Porcelain tiles
- Ceramic tiles
- Natural stone & granite
- Marble
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Wilby
Dropped pans and tools chip floor tiles, and wall tiles get drilled for fittings that are later removed. Cracks can also come from movement in the floor below.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

- Cracked floor tiles
